Sierra national Forest 2001 Model 62C, BME / IH.
The 3rd generation of the Model 62 was only built in 2001-2002. When IH replaced the 4900 with the 7400 in 2003, there were changes made to the design of the pumper body as well, leading to the 4th generation.
The large hosebed covers of the Model 62B were replaced with smaller covers only over the center (hosebed), and the compartments alongside got their own seperate doors. They also added an Allison 6 speed automatic transmission, replacing the manual transmission with split rear axle traditionally used by the USFS.
